Obesity is a major burden to people and to health care systems around the world. The aim of the study was to characterize the effect of a novel selective α-MSH analog on obesity and insulin sensitivity. The subchronic effects of the selective MC4-R peptide agonist MC4-NN1-0182 were investigated in diet-induced obese (DIO) rats and DIO minipigs by assessing the effects on food intake, energy con...

In the present study, we compared two strains of serotypes 088:H25 and 0145:H45 with an enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) adherence factor-positive (EAF+) strain of the classic enteropathogenic E. coli serotype 0111ab:H2 for their association with HeLa cells and with biopsies of human duodenal mucosa. Both strains not belonging to the classic EPEC serotype showed virulence properties sim...

A process cartography, or process map, hierarchically classifies the processes of an organization into meaningful domains. It provides an overview of the operations in the organization, eases the identification of processes and facilitates the communication across departments. Switzerland has defined a unified cartography for E-Government Services (eCH-0145). In this work, we discuss advantages...

The Western Atlantic±Caribbean region preserves the longest (some 50 million years) and most diverse fossil record of the mammalian order Sirenia in the world. Sirenians are aquatic herbivores; in marine waters, they eat mainly seagrasses (Hydrocharitaceae and Potamogetonaceae). Though the fossil record of seagrasses and other marine macrophytes is meager, we can use it together with that of si...
